with me to demonstrate the larvae. I then went 
to another Yugoslavian city to present a paper 
and chair a session at the Medical 
Oceanographic Conference. I was elected Vice 
President of the group. Next stop was Paris 
where I participated in a work shop in 
preparation for a meeting the next year. I had 
flown to Marseille where I met the Bellans. 
We then traveled to Cherbourg where his 
parents lived. I saw the door to the lab where 
Herpin studied the early development of 
Neanthes and other polychaetes, but didn’t go 
inside.

There were many more trips to Europe in the 
1970s, mostly to France, Italy and Yugoslavia. 
In 1975 Janice, the boys, and my mother went 
with me to Rome where I had another 
workshop. We then drove through northern 
Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and 
then to England before coming home. The 
longest trip was the one with my family; four 
weeks. The shortest was to Gothenburg, 
Sweden, to participate in an FAO workshop (it 
lasted only 2 days). Nearly all my trips to 
Europe have been paid by some organization 
and I think the primary reason was related to 
my studies with polychaetes and pollution. 
Gerard Bellan was about the only other person 
in the world who realized the importance of 
polychaetes in environmental studies at that 
time. [Next: Research Grants.]
